Teenage Girls

Tainted with the disease of competition Everyone must be better than the other - how it distorts our vision. Endless ridicule from media, forcing impossible standards on the young teen. None wise enough to see their true scheme. As we stumble through this journey called life Gaining unhealthy ideas we fall into our strife. Evermore giving away our power to a man’s standards of “beauty“. Genuine beauty locked behind a mirror and scale If only we could remove this misleading veil Reason will one day be taken down from it’s dusty shelf Life will become more prosperous in it’s new health Sanctuary lies in the confidence of one’s self
